Meme: Saturday Six -- Episode 90

We wrap up 2005 with the Saturday Six, and bring in 2006 with the Sunday Seven. How's that for a double whammy??

For those who'd like to join in on the fun, playing is simple: you can either answer the questions in this journal or you can answer them in your own blog and leave a link. It is strongly recommended that you answer the journals in your blog and post the link...since several of the people who are playing have relocated away from AOL, it's important that everyone knows where your new (or temporary) blogging homes are, so if you don't mind, leave a first name and your journal's link, just so we can find you easier!

But before the questions, it was Auntie Lyn, of "Lyndas's Lullaby 2" who was the first to play last week. Congratulations, Lyn!

Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. From a financial standpoint, was 2005 a good year or a bad year for you? Do you expect 2006 to be better or worse?2005 was a bad year and I expect 2006 will be worse.2. What was your least favorite moment of 2005?Learning that much of the Iberian Peninsula of Louisiana was destroyed by Katrina.3. Did you lose anyone close to you in 2005? If so, who were they?No, not this year.4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What do you know about blogging?

Actually, I know quite a bit about the mechanics of blogging, but not being a teenager nor a Mommy, most blogs, indeed, don't attract me. Then again, I have a hard enough time keeping up with the ones I do like, so no worries, mate.

5. Where were you when 2005 began? Where were you when 2005 ended?The same place, at home. 6. Did you make new year's resolutions for 2005? If so, how many did you keep?No. As I pointed out here, not much point in resolving something you know won't happen. Better to just do it and be happy for the serendipity.

If you have a Reader's Choice question you'd like to see asked (and answered), click the e-mail link in his Blogger profile and send it to Patrick.

About Me

Well past (by at least a decade) the half century mark. One foot in the grave, the other on a banana peel at the rim of the abyss and the view from here is disconcerting. I am a former student, pearl diver, cook, truck driver, firefighter, EMT, CEO, Town Fire Warden, mechanic, oiler, marine engineer and computer whiz bang. Mostly I sleep these days in an aluminum tube. And So It Goes...
I waste my time reading blogs and kvetching about the weather, playing with our Schipperke sidekick, Ignatz McGraw and waiting hand by foot upon my wife, the Queen of our Hovel, She Who Must Be Obeyed (SWMBO).
